A thousand ships on the Euphrates and an emperor who reads Homer the night before battle. Read the final part in the Iulianus trilogy in intermediate Latin (this concludes our 3 volume Lingua Latina - Latin course for beginners)
Antioch, March, A.D. 363.
Julian rides out of the laughing city without looking back attempting he conquest of Persia. Ammianus Marcellinus rides with him - this is the volume where the historian writes vēnimus, WE came, because he was there as well: at the burning of his own fleet, in the arrow-storm at Maranga, beside the lamplit tent where a dying philosopher-emperor calmly discussed the soul with his friends and asked for cold water. And he was there after: at the four days of hunger, at the gates of Nisibis when a city that had never fallen was handed over by treaty. Retold in graded, crystal-clear Latin you can read on your own - and finished by Ammianus' own farewell to his reader, which by then is a farewell to you.In the beloved "natural method" tradition of Ørberg's Lingua Latina - this book is in Latin - a living story that explains itself as you read:
- Every new word explained in Latin in the margin - 450 glosses
- IPSA VERBA panels: Ammianus' real, unaltered sentences in elegant purple frames, every excerpt verified word-for-word against the text - 40+ panels including the deathbed discourse entire, the great necrology with its portrait of Julian's blazing eyes, and the historian's final sign-off from Book 31
- 24 chapters to the end of a world: the omens that said no, the secret purple passed at the Moon's altar, the fleet like Xerxes' come again, sieges taken through a hand-dug mine, the emperor who kept three gold coins from the spoils of a city, the battle line arrayed by Homer, the fleet burned on a deserter's lie, iron-masked cataphracts, the spear incertum unde, the borrowed purple, the shameful peace, Nisibis surrendered, the road to the tomb at Tarsus - and the sunrise after
- 3 campaign maps in antique-engraving style - including the surrendered lands red-hatched REGIONES TRADITAE - plus cinematic plates, detailed Latin portraits of the whole cast, and a full alphabetical index
- Real history, honestly told: the same historian who calls Julian "worthy to be numbered among the heroic spirits" also records the law he brands inclemens
Volume III assumes GALLIA and IMPERIUM (or about three years of Latin). The excerpts run longest in this volume - and the book's last panel you read with no help at all. Following our Lingua Latina plan from page one of Volume I: to teach you about Ammianus, and to walk you to Ammianus. Eighteen surviving books of him are waiting.
Who this book is for- Readers of Volumes I-II - the story ends under the Persian sun
- Self-learners and homeschool families who want a real book
- Teachers seeking connected, gripping Latin prose with built-in support
- Anyone drawn to Julian - the last emperor of the old gods, dead at 31 with a Homeric verse over his tomb
This is Volume Three: PERSIA, the conclusion of the trilogy. Volumes One (GALLIA) and Two (IMPERIUM) are available now. Sōl oritur.
From the publisher of the Dē Bellō Gallicō and Stratēgēmata graded readers. Fīnis tē exspectat.
